The Election Commission on Thursday issued a strong defence of the Centre-backed Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of Bihar's electoral rolls, dismissing opposition allegations of voter suppression.
"The Constitution of India is the mother of India's democracy. Fearing these things, the Election Commission, being misled by such people, pave the way for such people to cast fake votes in the name of dead voters, permanently migrated voters, voters who have cast their votes in two places, fake voters or foreign voters, first in Bihar, then in the whole country," Mr Kumar said.
